Never Again // London Love Story // No-One // Only Treasure
L2S027
L2S label boss (and founding father of the future garage movement) Whistla, returns with another E.P that redefines the boundaries of Future Garage! 4 tracks that are as varied as they are inovative. First up is “Never Again” with huge support both from fans via his radio show and soundcloud page, Whistla’s incredible use of vocal chops, massive bass, a “running man” skippy beat and strings to make your heart melt, kick off the ep. Next up is the all out psychedelic assault that is “London Love Story”, first dropped at Rhythm Factory in East London, this track simply defies description, the future has arrived, and it is intense! Third we have the deep and deadly roller “No-One”, moody strings and a massive sense of space pervade even though the 4by4 influenced future garage rhythm is driving and intense, with bass that makes your chest implode! Finally is “Only Treasure” with huge support from djs across the board, Whistla has managed to fuse old skool synths with up to the minute beats and bass, as well as a sense of uplifting melancholy.

Monz joins the ranks of L2S bringing with him there first 4×4 release. Long awaited since the first plays this received on Sub.FM from Whistla, it’s finally here!
First up is the vocal chop up beauty that is “Make A Way”, if you like Todd Edwards vocals and bumping Garage beats with massive bass, this is for you! Second is another vocally track, this time “In My Head” has a slightly more ravey feel, trademark bass and amazing melodies make this a crowd favourite. Third up is “Jaunt” with melodies that Larry Heard would be proud of, that are so insistent and catchy that you will find youself humming it for the rest of the day! Accompanied by Monz’s beats and bass, this is a serious grower! Fourth, and finally, Monz switches it up entirely with “In Da Club”, showing how dark 4×4 should be done, fans of Narrows, Dexplicit and even 187 Lockdown will love this!
